Evolution Characteristics of Urban Heat Island Circulation for Loess Tableland Valley Towns by Zhuolei Yu, Yi Wang, Jukun Wang, Xiaoxue Wang, Songheng Wu

“…In order to further reveal the characteristics of city-scale closed circulation, the sensitivities of different factors influencing the start time, outflow time, mixing height and heat island intensity are analyzed, and the most significant factors influencing these four parameters are urban heat flux, slope height, slope height, and potential temperature lapse rate, respectively. Finally, the dimensionless mixing height and heat island intensity for the valley town increase by 56.80% and 128.68%, respectively, compared to those for the flat city. …”
